Description

Sodium Starch Glycolate (C₆H₁₁NaO₇)n

Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is a starch-based polymer compound widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient powder and super disintegrant in tablet and capsule formulations. It is derived from potato or maize starch and chemically modified to enhance its swelling and water absorption capacity, enabling rapid disintegration of solid dosage forms.

At Davar ChemTech, we are one of the trusted Sodium Starch Glycolate suppliers in India, offering pharmaceutical-grade Sodium Starch Glycolate IP/BP/USP that meets international quality standards. Our product is available in both Type A (Potato-based) and Type B (Maize-based) grades, designed to deliver high performance and purity for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

What is Sodium Starch Glycolate?

Sodium Starch Glycolate is a modified starch derivative of sodium carboxymethyl ether of starch. It is a white to off-white, odorless, tasteless powder that swells instantly when it comes into contact with water. This disintegrating and swelling agent accelerates tablet breakdown, improving drug release and absorption.

With its non-toxic, biodegradable, and high-purity composition, it serves as an ideal pharmaceutical excipient for fast-dissolving and controlled-release formulations.

Key Properties

Applications and Uses

Sodium Starch Glycolate is one of the most efficient tablet disintegration agents, used in a wide range of pharmaceutical formulations. Its ability to absorb 200–300 times its weight in water makes it an ideal super disintegrant formulation material.

1. Pharmaceuticals

• Used as a disintegrant for tablets and capsules, enabling rapid drug release.
• Ideal for oral solid dosage forms such as chewable tablets, dispersible tablets, and effervescent formulations.
• Enhances drug bioavailability by improving dissolution.
• Functions as a pharmaceutical excipient that meets IP/BP/USP standards.

Key Benefits:

• Rapid disintegration and uniform drug dispersion
• Low microbial load and consistent particle size
• Effective even at low concentrations (2–8%)

2. Nutraceuticals

• Used as a natural swelling agent in health supplements.
• Ensures quick dispersion of vitamin and mineral tablets.
• Offers better texture and uniformity for chewable tablets and powders.

3. Cosmetics and Personal Care

• Functions as a moisture-absorbing compound and stabilizer in creams and lotions.
• Helps improve consistency and spreadability of formulations.
• Acts as a non-toxic excipient powder for topical applications.

4. Industrial Applications

• Utilized in chemical raw materials for film coating, adhesives, and thickeners.
• Used in various industrial-grade formulations that require rapid absorption and high viscosity control.

Advantages of Sodium Starch Glycolate

1. High Swelling Capacity – Absorbs large amounts of water, promoting faster disintegration.
2. Excellent Flowability – Ensures uniform mixing with other excipients.
3. Low Concentration Efficiency – Effective even at low usage levels (2–8%).
4. Superior Tablet Performance – Enhances tablet hardness and stability.
5. Non-toxic and Safe – Biodegradable and suitable for human consumption.
6. Regulatory Approved – Complies with IP, BP, USP, and EP monographs.
7. Cost-effective Solution – Provides high performance at low inclusion rates.
